Preparation method

Ingredients overview

  • 50 g fresh basil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 100 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 70 g Parmigiano Reggiano DOP
  • 30 g Pecorino cheese
  • 1 pinch table salt
1

Carefully clean the basil leaves with a cloth (do not wash to preserve the aroma). Peel the garlic and finely grate the Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino.

2

Place all prepared ingredients together with the olive oil and a pinch of salt in a blender. Blend everything until a smooth, creamy pesto consistency is achieved. Serve immediately or transfer to a jar and cover with a little olive oil.

Chef's tip

For an even more intense aroma, you can briefly toast the pine nuts (optional) in a dry pan until golden brown before blending.
